Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to computer file sharing and transfers using mobile computers.
- Computer files can be transferred between computers using one of a variety of protocols, most of which are intended for use with personal computer operating systems (OS).
- OS personal computer operating systems
- FTP File Transfer Protocol
- PCs which essentially is a top level application program that relies on processing and communication layers in a PC OS, enables files to be transferred with security control to do such things as navigate, create, and delete directories, and to copy and delete files, and so on.
- a more widely used protocol is the server message block (SMB) protocol, which facilitates even more operations including sharing files, serial ports, and printers. SMB can also provide for two levels of security.
- Bluetooth is intended for wireless environments and which essentially offers the same capabilities as FTP. All of these protocols assume use with a PC OS and require both ends of the transmission (client and server, for instance) to possess communication protocol stacks that match each other.
- the above protocols are designed with the PC OS in mind, but that other OS such as Palm OS are used in smaller wireless devices such as wireless telephones and personal digital assistants (PDA).
- PDA personal digital assistants
- the Palm OS does not have all of the PC OS features that conventional file sharing protocols assume.
- the Palm OS does not have a conventional file system in its internal memory, which is relatively small.
- US patent application US -A- 2002/0078154 discloses a scheme which provides a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) chat server which allows users of WAP devices to chat in real time.
- WAP Wireless Application Protocol
- a method for communicating using a device having a Palm operating system includes preferentially using server message block (SMB) to communicate with a node, and if use of SMB to communicate with the node is not possible, using file transfer protocol (FTP). If use of FTP is not possible to communicate with the node, Bluetooth is used.
- SMB server message block
- FTP file transfer protocol
- a protocol for communication between the device and a communication node if a protocol for communication between the device and a communication node has not been identified, it is determined whether the node can communicate using a SMB dialect available to the device, and if so, SMB is selected as the communication protocol. If the node cannot communicate using a SMB dialect available to the device, the node is queried with a FTP message and if an appropriate response is received, FTP is selected as the communication protocol. On the other hand, if an appropriate response is not received, identifications of devices are attempted to be gathered using Bluetooth, and if an identification matches the identification of the node, Bluetooth is selected as the communication protocol.
- a user name can be automatically set to a default name.
- file sharing between the device and node that entails a read or write may be executed by temporarily copying a file to an internal Palm OS memory of the device, performing the read or write on the file, and then copying the file back to the node to overwrite a previous version of the file at the node.
- the method can include transferring a file that is not in Palm OS format between the internal memory and the node by wrapping the file in a Palm OS stream in the internal memory and performing a read or a write on the file.
- the method can include transferring a file between the expansion memory and the node by byte-to-byte copying of the file using a file allocation table (FAT) of the expansion memory.
- FAT file allocation table
- the file may be transferred through the internal memory.
- a system in another embodiment, includes a processor communicating using a protocol stack.
- the stack can include an application layer having at least two application layer protocols selected from the group including Bluetooth, file transfer protocol (FTP), and server message block (SMB).
- FTP file transfer protocol
- SMB server message block
- a protocol layer is on top of the application layer for selecting which application layer protocol to use to communicate with a node.
- a Palm OS device has an internal memory, an expansion memory, and a Palm operating system (OS) accessing the memories.
- Means are provided to the Palm OS for determining whether the node can communicate using a SMB dialect available to the device, and if so, selecting SMB as the communication protocol.
- Means are also provided to the Palm OS for, if the node cannot communicate using a SMB dialect available to the device, querying the node with a FTP message, and if an appropriate response is received, selecting FTP as the communication protocol.
- means are provided for, if an appropriate response is not received, gathering identifications of devices using Bluetooth. If an identification matches an identification of the node, Bluetooth is selected.
- a system is shown, generally designated 10, that includes one or more servers 12 communicating with one or more mobile computing devices 14.
- the mobile computing device 14 may be a wireless telephone, personal digital assistant (PDA), or other device that uses a non-personal computer (PC) operating system (OS), and in the embodiment shown that uses a Palm OS 16.
- the OS 16 can access an internal memory 18 and an expansion memory 20 that may be implemented by an expansion memory card.
- the OS 16 also accesses at least two transceivers 22 for purposes to be shortly disclosed for communicating with the server 12 over a wired or wireless link 24.
- the transceivers 22 can include modems, 802.11 devices, and Bluetooth infrared (IR) and/or radiofrequency (rf) transceivers.
- FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the protocol stack 26 of the present invention, which need not be exactly paired in the server 12.
- the stack 26 can include an application layer that includes a top-most mFTP layer which functions as described herein over a Bluetooth FTP layer, a SMB layer, and a FTP layer.
- the Bluetooth FTP layer is on top of a conventional Object Exchange protocol (OBEX) presentation, session, network, and transport layer. Under the OBEX layer in turn can be conventional Bluetooth (radiofrequency) and infrared data link and physical layers.
- OBEX Object Exchange protocol
- the data link and physical layer for the SMB layer is a conventional IEEE 802.11 layer
- the data link and physical layer for the FTP layer is a conventional modem.
- a conventional Palm OS TCP/IP stack serves as the network and transport layer for both the SMB layer and FTP layer.
- a net basic input/output system (NetBIOS) layer is provided as a session layer between the SMB layer and Palm OS TCP/IP layer. The logic below is implemented by the cooperation between the mFTP layer, Bluetooth FTP layer, SMB layer with NetBIOS layer, and FTP layer.
- processor of the computer 14 accesses the OS 16 to undertake the logic shown and discussed below, which may be executed by a processor as a series of computer-executable instructions.
- the instructions may be contained on a data storage device with a computer readable medium, such as a computer diskette having a computer usable medium with computer readable code elements stored thereon. Or, the instructions may be stored on a DASD array, magnetic tape, conventional hard disk drive, electronic read-only memory, optical storage device, or other appropriate data storage device, such as the internal memory 18.
- the computer-executable instructions may be lines of compiled C ++ compatible code or JAVA ® .
- the flow charts herein illustrate the structure of the logic of the present invention as embodied in computer program software.
- the flow charts illustrate the structures of computer program code elements including logic circuits on an integrated circuit, that function according to this invention.
- the invention is practiced in its essential embodiment by a machine component that renders the program code elements in a form that instructs a digital processing apparatus (that is, a computer) to perform a sequence of function acts corresponding to those shown.
- Figure 3 illustrates the logic of the present mFTP. It is to be understood that Figure 3 assumes that a correct user name and password have been input and accepted.
- SMB SMB, Bluetooth, or FTP
- FTP desired underlying protocol
- the logic flows to block 30 to use the specified protocol. Otherwise, the logic flows to decision diamond 32 to determine whether a suitable SMB dialect can be negotiated with the server. If so, SMB is selected as the protocol at block 34, and the user name is automatically set to the default name at block 36. In contrast, if no SMB dialect can be agreed upon, the logic flows to block 38 to query the server using FTP, and then at decision diamond 40 it is determined whether a suitable response has been received. If so, the logic selects FTP as the protocol at block 42. Otherwise, all Bluetooth devices in the proximity of the device are located at block 44 using Bluetooth principles known in the art.
- SMB SMB, Bluetooth, or FTP
- decision diamond 46 it is determined whether any device name that is returned as a result of the previous locating step matches the name of the desired file server with which connection is to be made. If not the logic ends at state 48, but otherwise the logic connects to the server using Bluetooth at block 50, and then automatically sets the user name to default at block 36.
- Figure 4 shows the logic for sharing files between the device and server.
- Block 52 simply indicates that directories are created, deleted, and navigated and files deleted using the conventional features of the underlying protocol selected as a result of Figure 3 .
- Decision diamond 54 indicates that if SMB was selected in Figure 3 , reading and writing files may be done conventionally at block 56. However, if FTP or Bluetooth is the selected protocol, the logic proceeds to block 58 to temporarily copy the file to be shared to the local internal Palm OS memory of the device using the underlying file transfer service. A read (or write, as appropriate) is then executed on the temporary version at block 60, and the result is copied back to the appropriate location in the server at block 62 to overwrite the version on the remote server. Running a Palm OS application on the device from the remote server is executed using the read or write file function described above.
- FIG. 5 shows the file transfer logic.
- Decision diamond 64 represents a branch in the logic depending on whether the file is to be transferred between the server 12 and the local internal Palm OS memory 18 or between the server and the expansion Palm OS memory 20. In the former case, the logic flows to decision diamond 66 to determine whether the file in question is in Palm OS format, and if it is the logic moves to block 68 to receive the file from the server (for a read) or transfer the file to the server (for a write) using Palm OS principles known in the art. If the file is not in OS format, however, the logic proceeds to block 70 to wrap the file in a Palm OS stream in the internal memory of the Palm OS so that the file can be read or written but not necessarily be directly accessible to an end user of the device.
- the logic moves from decision diamond 64 to block 72 to transfer the file using the FAT in a byte-to-byte copy, using the Palm OS native internal memory as a transmission medium.
